 The Past, the dark unfathom’d retrospect
The teeming gulf, the sleepers and the shadows The past, the infinite greatness of the past For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past? ~Walt Whitman

  “Lil Red Barn” recently sold and when the collector inquired about the backstory, I realized that I shot “Lil Red Barn” long ago while hiking on the Long Trail in Vermont with my late great friend, Jamie Smith. Jamie was an avid outdoorsman, musician, biker, craftsman, father and friend to all. I miss him dearly.
I am sure he would chuckle knowing that this photograph not only sold in limited edition but was also commissioned by Peak Organic Brewing of Portland, Maine for its label. Life is but a fleeting moment.  Had a super fun time shooting with chef Jordan Mills at Nylo, a boutique Hilton hotel in Warwick RI.
Don't let her badass look fool you, a graduate of Johnson & Wales University, Jordii is a sweetheart and a talented chef!  “Let me be one of the upward and outward lookers, not one of the downward and inward lookers.”

 “There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration.”
~Anna Katharine Green From a rather spontaneous photo shoot with the wildly talented Danielle Genest from the Island Moving Company, Newport, RI https://islandmovingco.org/portfolio-item/danielle-genest/  Danielle’s journey into Middle Eastern dance and culture started with music. She first fell in love with Arabic music while still in high school. With media coverage of the Middle East rife with negativity in the 2000’s, music became a gateway into connecting with a commonly misunderstood part of the world.

~Junot Diaz Amongst all of the machine-made items in our homes, it’s nice to have something that can effortlessly bring life back into a room. With a work of art, you can sense the time, effort, and skill that went into its creation. You may have even gotten the chance to meet the artist in person or hear the story behind the work. Without needing words, art can be the perfect way to express who you are to both yourself and others. This is the story of "Consciousness" 30x30" (limited edition), which now lives in a collector's beautiful Washington, D.C. home and is currently on exhibit at the Attleboro Art Museum.  "Every moment of light and dark is a miracle."
